Change Management
Heraclitus has stated, “change is the only constant in life.” Nowadays the above-quoted phrase made by a Greek philosopher is more accurate than ever. That’s why the best modern companies invest in training in change management.
The participants of our training course will learn the skills necessary to initiate, execute and manage change effectively. Thanks to a splendid simulation game they will get an opportunity to understand the common mistakes in change management and get to know how to avoid them. They will understand the common fears related to the change of different stakeholders and will learn to communicate in an appropriate way to dismantle those fears.

Training Programme:
It is a simulation game that transports the players to the final month of an economic slowdown. They are in charge of a small shipyard and their task is to survive the final month of the difficult situation. A positive financial result at the end of the month will mean that the aim has been achieved. A negative result will portend bankruptcy. At a moment as difficult as this, no simple solutions or quick compromises will do. There are a few possible options: e.g. lay-offs, employment structure modification, or production restructuring. One thing is certain – changes are inevitable. Time is pressing – 30 days in 30 minutes. It is astonishing how much can be learned about change management in such a short time. The game is a unique juxtaposition of confronting viewpoints of people holding different positions within the company. It allows one to see the anxieties and intentions of all the parties to the important change processes taking place in the enterprise. The game will enable you and your group to identify the sources of people’s resistance to change, as well as the key determinants of successful change implementation.
